New Approach to the Skin-Mind Connection! Cosmetic Ingredient "Well-Reishi" for Resilient Beauty Now on Sale

Maruzen Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. today, May 18, launched sales of "Well-Reishi," a new cosmetic ingredient (Reishi extract) that focuses on the relationship between mental stress and skin concerns. Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is a medicinal herb long known for its effect on balancing mind and body, and is known as an "adaptogen" material that increases adaptability to stress.

In recent years, "well-being" has become a global trend in the beauty industry, and approaches that work on the skin-mind connection are gaining attention. Maruzen Pharmaceuticals elucidated that chronic high-stress conditions adversely affect the skin's barrier function and, based on these findings, developed this ingredient with the concept of "resilient beauty.

The raw material used is Reishi from Nakano City, Nagano Prefecture, which has high traceability, and is ECOCERT/COSMOS certified. In human volunteer tests, a significant improvement in transepidermal water loss has been confirmed. Maruzen Pharmaceuticals will continue to research and develop cosmetic ingredients that offer both functional and emotional value.
